Flights in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport are being delayed and cancelled due to a staffing shortage.

Bwogline: Over 400 flights both arriving and departing from New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport were either delayed or cancelled yesterday due to staffing shortages and poor weather conditions. A “ground delay program” was put into effect to stop arriving flights from leaving their original airports and to space out arrivals to prevent flights being backed up. The Federal Aviation Administration stated that they are planning to hire 2,000 employees this year to repair the problems created by 20% of their air traffic controllers quitting their jobs.

Study Tip: Buy a sweet treat and put it across the room from you. You cannot get up to get it until you finish studying. Let that motivate you. 

Music of the Day: “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out” by Role Model. Someone tell Tucker to let me on stage to be the next Sally. 

Procrastination Tip: Do you actually know who you follow on social media? Go through the entirety of your Instagram following. Unfollow every account you’re no longer interested in or don’t remember why you followed. Scroll mindlessly through accounts to figure out why you ever followed them in the first place, and watch the number of accounts you follow slowly descend.
